| Oh I didn’t know that sorry! No no clothing for the guinea pigs lol |
| Painted Perfection |
| Ibknow that was a dumb question lol but most Jumping spider hobbiests call them jumpers XD |
| BlackRose |
| She bought little Sweaters/Jumpers (hoodies) for the guinea pigs lol as a Christmas prank |
| BlackRose |
| Honestly I’d love rats but she’s also not too fond of them…. I’d have a crocodile if I could xD |
| Painted Perfection |
| Grenlin, Ive had rattos love them. Will eventually have them again someday |
| BlackRose |
| She did say that jumping spiders were adorable, I just know if it was to jump on her she would freak xD she’s in love with the guinea pigs though! She even bought them jumpers xD |

| My grandmother is deathly afraid of Rats, when I had them I'd always lock up a room so if the freak accident of escape happens, I didn’t accidentally give anyone a heart attack lol, poor woman wasn't pleased when my brother got his own pair |
| Painted Perfection |
| My husband has tarantulas lol. Im afraid of them but ive gotten to the point where I am able to feed them or give water to them. Ive handled his one T once. But that'll be the last time lol. Im to scared to. Now..My hundreds of jumping spiders I breed... lol. Im good handling and playing with them all day long no problem XD |
| BlackRose |
| Most definitely Min! I’ve always said once I move out I will be getting a snake or something (she’s scared of snakes too) xD |
| BlackRose |
| Most definitely in my room, although she does come in my room - I had a gecko she was afraid of at first but one day I found her in here with it in her hand xD she was also scared of it escaping so I just thought it would be best to not have one here |
| BlackRose |
| 10000% hence why it never happened as she declined and I respected it :) I also knew if we did go and she was to even be outside and not be comfortable we would’ve went straight home on her say so - that’s also why I didn’t get a tarantula as I knew she wasn’t comfortable (even though she agreed to me having one) but when things are put into reality - they can have different outcomes and I didn’t want to get one and have her be uncomfortable when it’s actually in the house |
| Painted Perfection |
| We have snakes and spiders in my household. My father is really afraid of both and when they come over I am respectful of that and keep it in mind when bringing anything out of terrariums to let my sister and mother see or handle. |

| Just keep the spider in your room and out of the common areas. I have a snake, and my brother lives with me and is scared of snakes. I keep everyone separate. |
| Painted Perfection |
| As someone who breeds arachnids, and who used to have a phobia of them. I can say, exposure is great to get over fears...but for one, starting out small is best. Jumping spiders, letting people see them and all that. Two you dont want to force someone to do something as stressful as a convention full of animals theyre afraid of. Thats counter intuitive and not going to go well. Also forcing someone to get over their fears is not how you go about helping them. They have to be open minded to the idea of exposing themselves to something theyre afraid of...or else its not going to do anything but cause more trauma |
